Please post your answers to the following questions:
1. Read Ps. 19:1–6 and Rom 1:18–20. Give examples of how creation is the “voice of God” that goes out to all people.
2. Read Rom. 2:14–15. Do you believe the fact that people have a conscience is another evidence of God’s general call? Explain.
3. The doctrine of God’s Effectual Call teaches that God comes to the elect and effectually calls them to salvation. Do you agree with this doctrine? Why or why not.
4. God’s Effectual Call is often referred to as the doctrine of Irresistible Grace. How can the word “irresistible” be misleading and why is “effectual” a better word to use because of this?
5. In the Bible, death always means separation. When one dies, his spirit/soul is separated from his body. When one is dead spiritually, what is he separated from? In what way?
6. Read Eph. 2:1-6. How does this passage describe regeneration?
7. Do you believe that regeneration precedes faith? Why or why not?
8. Describe your regeneration experience. How does this influence your view of regeneration and faith?
9. How was your thinking challenged the most by the lesson? Explain.
